Natsu's POV

"Lucy is it?" I question the teary girl. She is sobbing quietly in the corner. She wipes her nose with her sleeve and looks up.

"Ye." She mumbles and stands up. I clear my throat.

"Is it alright if I call you Luce?" I question. The blonde haired girl smiles.

"Of course!" The corners of her lips turn into a smile.

"these two will only last one minute." A man stagers into the room. Me an Luce turn our heads quickly

"Gildarts Clive." The drunk man offers his hand out to me.
"One of District 6's vicotors at your service." He bows down to my feet.

"Righto, before we can discuss survival!" He reaches his hand to a glass of whiskey.

"Don't drink." I feel like saying but bite my tongue.

"Argh!" He finishes his glass and goes for another. I turn my head to Luce but she is staring out the window.

"Wow..." I hear Luce say in awe. Right infront of us is the arena. In the center if the capitol is the huge building shaped like a colosseum.

"How I am sick of seeing that building, year after year. I lead the tributes of District 6 to their deaths I do." Gildarts slams his glass down.

He leads us towards the widows. Hoards of capitol child and adults wave to us as the train approaches.

"The key to the games is sponsors and to get those you want the capitol to love you. Without sponsors the game makers might be a bit tougher on you than other people." I stare out the window. The Capitol sure is huge. Pannels and pannels of clear glass surround us and separate us from the public.

The capitol resident are strange. Their bodies are dyed orange or blue, some are green. Their hair is tied into the most abnormal hairstyles and their faces are caked with make-up. They are hideous.

"Say you got stabbed. If you have sponsors you might be able to get some medicine or food-"

"So your saying to get sponsors I have to get the Capitol to like me?" I turn to face the drunk man. Gildarts nods.

"Alright." I walk up to the window and begin to wave.

Lucy's POV

"I play with the key dad gave me in my hand." He says it was mums favourite necklace. Something from home will give me a reason to push forward.

Jenny Runs in the room wear the most ridiculous heels you ever could imagine.
"Natsu, Lucy." She calls on us. I sit up in the seat and turn my head.

"You will be training hard everyday from now on. Also we need to get you cleaned up and ready. If you'll follow me please." Jenny guides us out the train and into a chrome walled room.

"This is Hibiki." She introduces is to a tall man. He holds a measuring tape and a comb.

"He will be your personal stylist!" Jenny claps her hands. Two other men come in.

"Eve and Ren" Hibiki introduces the two men. The grab my hands and lead me to chair.

They take my two hands and file my nails whilst Hibiki cleans my hair.
"Ren, grab some conditioner pronto!" One if the boys throw a bottle labled 'oh so sof' into Hibikis hand.

"You have very beautiful hair Lucy." Is this guy flirting with me?

"Thanks." I manage to smile. One they have done with my hair and nails the wax my legs.

"Now, this won't hurt one bit," Hibiki reassures me. Ren and eve place the waxing strips down on my legs.

"3, 2 , 1" Hibiki counts.

"JESUS CHRIST ON A MOTORCYCLE!" I yell when they rip the strips off. My legs and arms are in agony by the time my serialisation is complete.

"You are ready my child." Hibiki takes my hand as i attempt to walk.

I limp my way down the hall.

"LUCY!" Natsu waves and calls me down the hall where Gildarts and jenny are waiting.

"Wait until you see the rooms." I walk up a set of monochrome stairs into a beautiful room.

"The Capitol are so greedy aren't they?" Natsu picks up a 7 carrot gold fork then sets it down.

"I mean here we are starving and kicking our butts for them and they have this!" His voice begins to sound angry.

"It's not fair!"

Life isn't fair!" I snap back. He turns his head to me.

"Right enough squabbling!" Jenny interrupts.

"Time for bed I think, you have a big day tommorow. You will be starting your training schedule."

"Boys to the left, girls to the right." Jenny smiles

I walk into my room. A queen size bed and a huge TV screen lay waiting for me.

An unopened box of chocolates lay on my pillow.

"Nice touch" I say to myself. I open the black waterglass wardrobe and pull out a silk teal nightie. I brush my whitened teeth in the abrabescato bathroom.

The sink has fairy light around the mirror which twinkle. I stare at myself in the mirror.
"Lucy your a strong woman. You can do this."
I shut off the bathroom light and walk back into my bedroom. I snack on a few chocolates and then go under the covers. Its so warm and comfy! I moan as I dip my head underneath the silky sheets. But I cant sleep.

I'll go get a glass of water.

I decide to not turn on the light unless I wake Natsu. I grab a crystal glass and pour in some water.

"Can't sleep?" I jump back. The light turns on and Natsu is infront of me holding and empty box of chocolates. I bob my head up and down.

"You neither?" I mumble. He nods his head.

"I-Im scared..." I confess. He places his hand down on my shoulder.

"Fear is evil." I Sob.

"Fear isn't evil it tells you what your weakness is, And once you know your weakness you can become stronger as well as kinder." Natsu smiles. I feel my cheeks flush slightly.

"You should try and get some sleep Luce." Natsu turns his heel and heads back to his room.

"Night Natsu." I whisper.

"Night Luce." He replies.
